Good Day,

Any pictures of the new Lionel Missouri Pacific or Western Maryland GP35's?

I'm curious..................

1. Is the GP35 presented without dynamic brakes?

2. Is the under frame and trucks painted the same color as the body?

Swafford,

I finally had time to get my Mopac out of the box (Ice day in Texas).

Let me say I am a little disappointed and glad I Only ordered one of the 3. Glad now they did the same numbers as Atlas other than the #607 that I ordered. The trucks and fuel tank are black and should have been blue like Atlas did. Also do not think the blue is correct. I trust Atlas and the blue's are no where close to each other. So the problem will be finding the lionel blue to paint the trucks and fuel tanks.

Atlas Mopac with the Lionel Burlington from this summer. I Really like the Burlington and think I shall find another.

Well I hope this helps.

I'll agree that Missouri Pacific blue is a tough one to get right. It always looked to me as if it had a small amount of green in it, but did not reproduce accurately in photographs.

Sometimes the colors of Diesels and Freight cars are the right shade, but too dark or too light because of the light at the time of day the reference photo or slide was taken.
